Broken promise and disappointment

Another email that spoilt my mood today.

I received the reply from this company again. And now the company has replaced the previous product engineer position to an internship program. The salary is halved and i might have to work 5-6 days per week.

According to my friend, when the salary is halved, the working day is halved as well because the electronic companies are cutting down the expenditure on the operation.

This company is exploiting me too much and i might have to undergo the interview again, which is sucks. Man...really can not stand the management who fail to keep their promises.

So why at the first place they advertised this position one and a half month ago, if they knew that they weren't able to allocate money to hire more people? And it took 3 interviews to get me to the job but in the end, the President of the company took back his word and left me miserably stunned. Probably the President didn't realise that his decision has caused so much hurt to me and my family. With this incident, it really shows the failure of the management team in handling their own finance when crisis hits. I think there should be more failure of the company to be unraveled if time allows.

Can we have a toast for this team of people? Yam...Seng...

The cut-and-paste email is as below:

Dear Wayne,

The position is hold and will be replace with an attachment program by our goverment. Do let me know if you are interested. One thing to concern is the allowance is only RM1,500.

If you are okay, I can recommend your name for the program.
